HN does hiring posts on the first of every month, and they seem like a great place to advertise. I found my current job with a startup called ThisOrThat through one, and I like that my coworkers read HN and seem to actually give a damn about the business side of "software business" instead of just focusing on the tech. If you can wait three weeks, that would be a good resource for you.
To be honest with you, this sounds like something I'd like to work on, except I don't live in the UK. If you can live with a contractor based in the US, I'd like to talk more, because the project sounds interesting. My e-mail address is listed in my profile.
I'll send you an email - thanks for the reply. It's much appreciated.

You don't really make it clear what you need, but if you require a very specialist skill set it probably makes more sense just to make a list of people with that skillset and approach them directly.
Thank you for your feedback ig1.
